As schools around the nation are canceling their performing arts programs due to financial hardships, Saratoga Central Catholic High School's program is growing.

The school's belief that a strong program, especially the triumph of being on stage and perfecting a script, is a strong reassurance of self worth and achievement. The influence of theater prepares its students to face the numerous obstacles of life's journey.
